Chapter 451 Life is endless, and the battle is endless

Zhang San's good days came to an end, and a Qing army scout of more than 50 people kept hanging them. There are only six people, and if you don't run, you will die. The night team that operates around here is this one. Relying on good equipment, Zhang San and his brothers set up ambushes many times and killed seven or eight Qing army scouts, but the situation of being chased and killed has not changed. I don't know if the children of the Qing army officers who led the team were thrown into the well, and these dozens of Qing soldiers chased them very persistently.

On the North China Plain, it is difficult for the fleeing side to get rid of the opponent. Seeing that the Qing army behind him was gone, Zhang San ordered to rest for a while, and the war horse couldn't run anymore. Take out a small bag of fried soybeans from the back basket and feed it to the horse, and carefully dry it with a sweat towel on the horse's body. Lying on the tree and looking around with a telescope, the shadow of a group of cavalry appeared on the ground, it was still the Qing army, and the distance was only two miles. It's really hard to chase, this is a tracking master.

"Captain, look." In the sky, a Haidongqing was soaring, and when he saw the people and horses here, he made a call. Zhang San saw it clearly, it turned out to be this flat-haired livestock. "You go into the village, hurry up and do something, Lao Tzu will stay and kill this."

After five nights, he immediately set off and took Zhang San's horse away, Hai Dongqing really chased after him, hovering in the air, and refused to lower his altitude. Squinting his eyes, Zhang San jumped into a ditch, ran forward for a while, found a good hiding spot, quietly stretched out the rifle in his hand, and patiently waited for Hai Dongqing to lower his level.

It's cold, and the exhaled heat atomizes quickly. Zhang San, who carefully wrapped his mouth and nose with a towel, finally waited for an opportunity, Hai Dongqing couldn't see the people in the village, and began to lower the height. It was at this time that Zhang San's hands were about to freeze and he pulled the trigger. A thud on the deserted field shattered the deathly silence. Zhang San didn't even rush to take a look at the results of the battle, and ran wildly along the ditch towards the village. Sure enough, three fast horses chased after him, and the sound of Tatata's horses' hooves rang out.

There is an earthen enclosure at the entrance of the village. Zhang San was almost at the moment when he entered the entrance of the village. Duck behind the dirt fence. Whoosh, three bows and arrows flew and pierced the ground, the feathers at the end of the arrows still trembling slightly. There was another bang. Hidden behind the earthen fence for a night. Pulled the trigger.

"Captain, let's go, three miles to the north. There is a forest. Zhang San nodded, got up and ran, crossed the dirt road in the village, and came to the exit behind the earthen enclosure, where the war horses were waiting. The two of them turned on their horses and ran into the woods to the north.

"The bird is dead." The soldiers who fled for their lives together shouted with a smile, and Zhang San was relieved. Without that bird, it would have been much easier to get rid of the Qing army. At this time, dozens of Qing troops chased into the village, looking at the empty deserted village, they had to stop and dare not chase anymore. In this village, who knows what ghosts are waiting for them. After a day of chasing along the way, fifty brothers, three were killed and eight were wounded. These Dengzhou battalions do not collect at night, and there are too many losses.

There was no big mistake in being careful, and after tossing for a moment, I found a thin wire, a small pit in the ground, with a pedal on it, and the horse stepped on it and it was wasted, and the man stepped on it, and there was a three-inch-long nail underneath, and it had to be wasted. This kind of endless traps are really unguardable, forget it once or twice, this has happened seven or eight times, these dozens of people are still chasing, and they did not collapse because of the leader's persistence. There was no way, the leader's youngest son led down from the horse, his neck was broken, and he hated these green-skinned soldiers to death.

It was dark again, and Zhang San and his teammates used a compass in the night to quietly shake off the scouts of the Qing army. After the war, I learned that they were lucky, because in order to ensure that the news did not leak, a large number of scouts sent by the Qing army, and the night squads of the sixteen Dengzhou battalions did not collect, and there was a fierce battle with the Qing army. The scout team of three hundred men, after this battle was reduced by one hundred and twelve. Sixty of them were killed, and the others withdrew from the army because of their injuries.

It is the proudest branch of the Dengzhou battalion, with the highest salary and the strictest training. Almost every battle is preceded by a night that falls on the battlefield.

Longping, the only way from Pingxiang to Gaoyi. Dolgon brought the broken horse team here, and calculated that the Dengzhou battalion had to pass through here if it was to pursue. The turtle shell of the legendary Dengzhou camp, he didn't plan to touch it as stupidly as Azig. According to his understanding of Chen Xie, as long as he withdraws, Chen Xie will definitely chase after him. Field battles in the middle of the movement were the only possible way to defeat the Dengzhou battalion. Of course, this is only possible.

On the North China Plain, there are many rivers. (On the map of the Ming Dynasty, there were many rivers on the North China Plain.) With successive droughts, these rivers have seen the ground, and even if they do, the silt on the riverbed is not a place where horses can gallop.

Chen Xie, who was chasing all the way along the northwest direction, delayed a lot of time in order to find a place to cross the river. Every time he thought of this, Chen Xie had a nameless anger. When the Qing army went south, the local government would not even tear down the bridge, so they kept the bridge and let the Qing army pass at will. Local officials with low actual ability to deal with it, an incompetent and stupid cabinet, and a self-righteous emperor, this combination can last until the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, which is really because the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is too strong. Chen Xie bet that the Longping County Commander didn't know how many major rivers there were in the territory, how many important bridges there were on the rivers, let alone know the names of the bridges.

Whoosh! A red flare rose in the sky ahead, and the marching cavalry brigade immediately stopped. Wu Sangui, who was following Chen Xie, obediently approached and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Chen, what does this mean?" Found Jiannu? Wu Sangui was completely frightened by Chen Xie, and chopped off Gao Qiqian's head in front of him, which was the psychological shadow of his life. The unruly King of Pingxi, he can't get rid of that moment in this life.

"Three red signal flares were fired, and the Qing army brigade was found. Sure enough, it was Longping me, and I wanted to see how Dorgon's cavalry could resist my invincible Dengzhou Iron Cavalry. Chen Xie's confident words aroused the recognition of Zu Kuan and Zu Dale. Guan Ningjun has fought with the Qing army for many years, and has never fought such a battle. The moment the Qing army retreated when they heard that the Dengzhou battalion appeared, the entire Guanning army was shocked. Manchurian people are also afraid? For a while, self-confidence reached its peak.

"Listen to me, the soldiers are divided into three roads, I will take the Dengzhou battalion to the middle road, Zu Kuan, Zu Dale, the left road will be handed over to you. Wu Sangui, the right side is handed over to you. Pay attention to my banner, and as soon as the red flag enters the enemy's ranks, you will kill me from both sides. This time, I want to crush the Manchu cavalry head-on and let the Manchus know that their proud cavalry shooting is bullshit. ”

Chen Xie's words, the other three people were enthusiastic. was arranged by Chen Xie to assist, and they were not dissatisfied.

The battlefield was chosen by Dolgon, and it was a plain field. When the two armies met on the plain, and they were only five miles apart, Dolgon spotted their opponents, and found that they were all cavalry. When the positions were held down almost simultaneously, the two armies were less than three miles apart. In the wilderness, Dorgon had 30,000 cavalry, lined up in large and small ranks.

The Dengzhou battalion had only more than 10,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of the Guanning army lagged slightly behind on the flanks. The Dengzhou cavalry, a combat unit of 500 people, was not afraid to be at the forefront, and from a high altitude, the entire formation was a huge conical arrow.

At the front of the arrow, a red flag is waving in the wind, and a black eagle is embroidered on the red flag, and its claws are grasping at its prey.

"Master, let me take the lead, you stay in charge of commanding the overall situation, and it is not a small battle." He Xian grabbed Chen Xie's reins, and finally tried hard, trying to persuade Chen Xie.

At this time, Chen Xie, who was already boiling with blood, where would he listen to this persuasion. Finally, he seized an opportunity to solve the threat from outside the customs in one fell swoop. Once a big victory, it is not too much to be able to influence the court, how can you let go of this opportunity? In such an important battle, if you don't take the lead, in the era of cold weapons, how can you make the three armies brave.

"Shut up and get back to your place." Chen Xie shouted angrily, and He Xian went to his place in a gloomy manner. The five hundred grenadiers in the formation, already ready, were waiting for the order of the banner.

Chen Xie rode his horse and galloped back and forth in front of the battle, shouting in his mouth: "The Ming Dynasty is in ruin, and we will fight here." Life never ends, and the battle never stops. ”

More than 10,000 people shouted in unison: "Life is endless, fighting is endless!" ……。 ”

Chen Xie, who returned to the command position, looked at the soldiers behind him, and said to Han Shan behind him: "Let's start." ”

The red flag swayed vigorously, a whooshing sound sounded, and the 500 grenadiers shot out all the 5,000 rockets they carried. This rocket, which has a range of 1,800 meters, was beyond the expectations of the Qing army.

Dolgon, who was cheering up the soldiers, saw the rockets flying densely into the Chinese army's formation, and a frightened thought rose in his heart, how could it be? In just one minute, all 5,000 rockets were fired. The tight formation of the central Qing army was hit intensively by rockets, and in the continuous explosions, the casualties continued, and the horses were constantly startled, and they were completely in chaos. In fact, there are only four or five thousand people who are really in chaos, but it is enough to cause the most severe consequences.

Chen Xie raised his sword: "Kill!" With his legs straining, the eager war horse rushed out, and the guards behind him had a tacit understanding and rushed out after this. The 12,000 Dengzhou iron cavalry launched a full-army assault, followed the red flag in front of them, and moved forward.

Like a sharp dagger, Chen Xie under the red flag rushed into the chaotic section of the Qing army under the support of the guards, easily tore a huge opening, and the cavalry behind him rushed into the enemy formation like a rolling torrent. (To be continued......)
